Inside the transmission there is a park gear attached to the output shaft. A park pawl has a tooth that engages the park gear, locking the two together and preventing the output shaft from turning. Spring pressure holds the pawl out of the gear when not in use. When park is selected another spring loaded mechanism pushes the pawl into the park gear and prevents the transmission from turning.
